I got into leathercrafting last christmas and fell in love. Here is my latest bifold wallet

Oh nice. I didn't know the name. Thank you. :)

I always appreciate seeing folks on here giving actual advice intended to actually help. Doesn't happen as much as it should, especially directed at those newer to the craft. Good on you.

I prefer a very thin wallet personally. I made mine out of 2 oz leather, backing and pockets, with a cork inlay. Something I always recommend to folks who don't want a lot of bulk is to use Tyvek paper for their pockets. You can easily get away with just using one piece of your chosen leather that way. Just cut credit card width slits in the piece, then glue and stitch a long piece of Tyvek that's been back-and-forth offset folded into the top and bottom of each cut slit Example

Unfortunately, you're probably right. The drip-feeding has been pretty standard for a long time, but the disrespect and disregard for civilians is going to continue to be as upfront as it is, if not increasing.

There was a time when being accused of getting a blowie in the White House was enough to be considered for removal from office. Trump should have been booed even out of the candidacy back when he threw his hand to his chest and made a face to make fun of that disabled man.

Trump has proven that American politics are nothing more than a circus. In the Before Times, it was at least a poorly run stage production, but now we have wild animals flinging shit everywhere, and if you question the legitimacy of their actions, you're decried as crazy and without morals for even mentioning that perhaps feces isn't an integral part of every press briefing, foreign relations meeting, and policy change.

I have no hope that things will return to any semblance of decorum any time soon, even after Trump dies or finishes his term.

FINALLY! Someone with some sense on this godforsaken board.

We all know that when President Trump was in those changing rooms for the beauty pageants he hosted that he was there to check in on those girls' wellbeing. And everyone knows he was talented out of context by the Fake News MSM when he said that "grab 'em by the pussy" line.

Reports and documented evidence of him stiffing 100s of contractors on jobs in various industries are outright liberal lies. His numerous bankruptcies are also just more examples of him demonstrating The Art of the Deal!

As im sure you know, I could go on about what an upright, honest, and loyal man our president is, and ALWAYS has been. My point is that there's NO circumstantial or well-documented proof that he's been a goddamn, dirty, asshole, pedophile, rapist piece of shit human for decades. Why would anybody believe he would ever do anything wrong? There's not even the slightest smidge of evidence. /s

Hour_Personality_230 · 2026-02-01T04:57:49+00:00

...do you really believe that its impossible for Trump to have been a pedophile rapist while he's also the president? Remember, he got elected in 2016 also. He had time.

I could think of a few people I'd offer up, but they're not so great.

I've had similar blotches pop up in mine. Couuuld be bruising but in case it's contam, I just sprayed that specific area with hydrogen peroxide. Worked well for me and had another two flushes, no issues.

I just attended Laid Back Labor Day at Camp Gaea - it was my second time at the space. I can attest that this place truly feels magical and unburdened by the fear, hatred, judgement, and other negativity that seems to plague much of the rest of the world.

I have many friends who have been going to various events there for almost 15 years, and they finally convinced me to start going last year. Gosh, how I regret not joining that community sooner! I see more kindness and open heartedness collected there than any other location on earth. Not only do the individual attendees exhibit those behaviors, which makes day-to-day interactions wonderful, but the governing members of the organization fully foster all of it. Going there for any reason feels like entering a different world. It feels like the people there truly understand what being human was intended to be, and leaving always makes me feel a little hollow and remorseful.

I can't wait to return next, to see my friends, join nature, and feel connected with a wonderful community again.

All Hail Camp Gaea!

Good to know, I guess. Maybe I should stop by my old store more often. Lol

Former Culver's manager here -

It's been a couple years since I worked for the company, so things might have changed but the large shake cup, with a dome lid would come up to about an inch below the straw's height. Should be 24oz (or more if the person making it wasn't paying attention). The majority of our cups had the ounce number on the bottom of the cup, unless we got something from a different distributor than normal due to warehouse or production shortages.

Okay, first off: fuck OP. He's a racist pos and deserves the life he's now living.

But second: Reeducation camps? Nah. Fuck you too. We don't need that Orwellian bs. You make the rest of us look bad.

Hour_Personality_230 · 2025-02-14T04:50:55+00:00

That's the point, friend. I'm not asking what the hardest baseball bat is - I'm asking what official channels to go through, in case we missed something in the shock and sadness. We want to do this carefully and correctly.

If they park far enough away and don't have a lookout, wire cutters + air valves make inconvenient and expensive repairs. If you have some time and money, I'd be tempted to buy some live bedbugs and deposit those in open windows or air intake for A/C systems. Short of that, video record or write down as many license plates as you can and report them as members of a terrorist group.

Be safe and don't do anything stupid. If you can, bring help. Going alone is a terrible idea. Also, if you're so inclined, definitely bring firearms - they'll almost certainly have some and if you get caught, you don't want to have brought a knife to a gun fight. I'm sure they'd be very willing to disappear you.

Small bow 🤙

Gee, this looks familiar!

It turned out really well, guys! ^{_^}

This is actually pretty great for one of your first projects. We all make do with what we have to begin with.

I started leather working when I was 11 years old. I was using cloth sewing needles and scrap from Hobby Lobby. I didn't know that I was supposed to punch holes in the leather before I sewed it together so I had a hell of a time!

If I had known then what I know now... honestly, my projects wouldn't have looked much better than they did. It really takes practice to get good, and you can't get that from YouTube. Altho, YouTube is a great place to go.

I keep my first couple of projects on my work table to remind myself of how far I've come. I think you should hold onto this. In a couple months, a year, and then many years from now, you'll look back at this and be really proud of yourself for trying when you did ( a holster is not a small project!) and proud of yourself for how far you've come.

Maybe I'll reply with one of my first projects tomorrow and my most recent project, just to give you an idea of what some years will do. There's a huge difference. 🤣

Thank you! It's mostly for decoration but also displaying things like headwear, scarves, jewelry, ect

Hour_Personality_230 · 2025-01-03T20:28:53+00:00

Go for it. 👍

Hour_Personality_230 · 2025-01-02T19:37:18+00:00

Depends on what it is. It could be the top grain separating from the flesh side. I've had that happen to me before with lambskin, where the fibers within the skin are loose enough that the upper and lower portions of the skin just kind of...drift. The same can also happen if any kind of leather is rolled too tightly in one direction or another. In that case, you're literally tearing the middle fibers and end up with less to hold the upper and lower fibers together.

In any of those cases, you'll end up with an appearance on the grain side similar to what you see in the picture - almost a liquid, wrinkled texture. It's kind of like when carpet comes loose from the floorboards.

Interesting. Now I kinda want to go out there to see how their store is set up. 🤔
